Notes:

From Collector Car Market

In 1954 there were a number of minor changes both in power, styling, and model line-up for Chevrolet. Under the hood the Blue-Flame six was tweaked and the 235.5 cubic inches now had 115 horsepower in standard base form, while models equipped with Power-Glide made a rousing 125 horsepower. For the first time, a whole list of convenience accessories were available. They included power windows, power seats, and most helpful, power brakes.

In 1953 saw the introduction of power steering for Chevrolet. Relatively few cars came equipped with this convenience option and today a complete working system can add upwards of $1,000 to the value of any model. The Power-Glide automatic transmission was a very reliable unit, but the premium value for this factory extra is negligible in today's collector market.

Helping to boost the value of these cars are the typical factory trim and accessory items of the era. Fender skirts were technically an option, even on the Bel Air models. For closed cars, windshield shades are always a plus, whether factory original or the popular Fulton aftermarket units. Two-tone paint schemes were just starting to gain popularity in 1953 and 1954, and Chevrolet used a couple of different varieties for their cars. The Deluxe 210 series and Special 150s both were limited to the roof being painted in a contrasting color, however on the 150s this is a very rare option from the factory.

One trick of the early Chevrolet builders of this era is to place a small block V8 engine under the hood. But of course, this is not something the factory did when they were new. (A few prototype 1955 Chevrolets with V8s were skinned in modified 1954 Chevy trim to disguise them, but these never made it into the hands of the public.)

One thing about these cars is that they seemed to hold up to rust and corrosion quite a bit better than many of their competitors. Using body-on-frame construction, typical areas prone to road rot should be closely inspected. Most notable are the floor panels (especially on the convertible), and the trunk area, with extra detail given to the spare tire well on the passenger cars.
